(Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #2): Black Condor, a man who can fly (for always unclear reasons). Blackfire, a bitter woman passed over for the throne and driven to madness. Black Hand, a weird villain clearly named for Bill Finger. He's also a weird man who deals in cliches, which makes him one of the silliest villains out there. And finally, we have Blackhawk (the leader of the Blackhawks), an old polish-american who fought Nazis in ww2. Did he survive past the war? Who can say. The comics certain don't say.

He does say it's not what it looks like?

Blackhawk, maybe taking off your belt in front of the woman hanging from the ceiling before you spoke was not the best possible introduction. Action Comics 620

The Next Generation

The jack, traditionally the lowest face card, has often been promoted to a higher or the highest position in the traditional ranking of cards, where the ace or king generally occupied the first rank.

Pulptober Prompts 2023 Themes Elaborated, Part Four

Since I didn't do one yesterday, you get two today. Your welcome.

Part One

Part Two

Part Three

And Here. We. Go.

16-The Blackhawks/Men of War: Another relatively straightforward one. It will not surprise anyone who remembers the theme from the Oct. 12th that quite a few Pulp stories place their heroes in actual, rather than metaphorical wars. Given the era the Pulps rose to prominence, these are often the World Wars, but there are Pulp Heroes depicted as fighting in conflicts all over the world and throughout history. Today is for them. Alternates: Chevalier de Trelern*+, Enemy Ace, Sgt. Rock and Easy Company*

17-Dejah Thoris/Beauty and Badassery: While far from universal, it is not surprising that Pulp Heroes, like the protagonists of most fiction, tend to be attractive. These characters take it a step further; they're not just good-looking, they're exceptionally so, and their looks are a regular plot point, used as a tool in their arsenal. Alternates: James Bond, Joanna Tan, Barbarella

18-The Rocketeer/Average Joe Justice: Pulp Heroes are exceptional. They're smarter, stronger, faster, braver, and bolder than most people. But they don't always see it that way. These Pulp Heroes are convinced that they are regular working stiffs, ordinary people who have simply stumbled into something extraordinary and are just bumbling along trying to make it out alive. Whether they're right is for you, the reader or viewer, to decide. Alternates: The Green Turtle+, Ash Williams, Jack Burton

19-Ogon Bat/Weird Justice: Another straightforward one. Pulp is an often liminal genre in which people frequently experiment, and sometimes the results are...odd. Alternates: The Green Ghost*+, The Crimson Clown*+

20-Solomon Kane/Learning A Lesson: Even in the Pulps and their heirs, Character Development exists. These Heroes start out with ideas about what the world is like and over the course of their adventures, they learn that they may have been wrong, hopefully becoming better people in the process. Alternates...dammit, I had several of these in mind when I came up with this, but all of a sudden I'm drawing a blank. That's embarrassing.

connor bedard im coming to save you from the blackhawks sweetie just hold on a little longer

[maxenceandrebisset]

Y'all are honestly underestimating the memeability of Connor Bedard

Hockeyblr is hilarious because every now and then, you’ll catch your mutuals cheering for teams you despise on your dash. It’s like discovering your dad has a secret second family. My brother in Christ, we were fighting on the frontlines together in the same lb no more than 24 hours ago, what happened

Anyone knows what this asshole is trying to do? He’s straight up trying to destroy the US from the inside out and trying to get access into the US treasury’s payment system. Pressuring the previous FAA director to resign after the FAA found that spacex was not prioritising safety enough, then now with all the guardrails removed or fired suddenly a Blackhawk slams into a plane and kills everyone on board? And now he’s saying he wants to work with Boeing to produce the new air force one, what can go wrong? Two companies famous for their products malfunctioning in fatal ways. And he’s getting his smelly hands into every government trying to influence them or their alt right population like the AFD. Anyone someone should look into him but they won’t, he’ll personally make sure of that.
